Explore current MLS listings within the Claremont Secondary School boundary and learn more about one of the Saanich Peninsula’s largest and most established secondary schools.
Claremont Secondary School is located at 4980 Wesley Road in the Cordova Bay area of Saanich. The school opened on September 1, 1962, and today serves students in Grades 9 through 12 as part of School District 63 (Saanich).
With approximately 1,100 students, Claremont is the largest secondary school in the Saanich district. It draws students from Cordova Bay and surrounding parts of the Saanich Peninsula while also attracting participants to several specialized academic, athletic and arts programs.
Claremont is known for combining a broad secondary-school curriculum with opportunities for students to pursue particular interests in global studies, athletics, fine arts, advanced academics and career-oriented learning. School life also includes clubs, leadership activities, performances, athletics and community events.
The range of programs available at Claremont is one of the school’s most distinctive features. Program availability, admission requirements and course offerings can change, so families should confirm current details directly with the school when making registration or course-selection decisions.
The Institute for Global Solutions, commonly called IGS, provides an interdisciplinary program centred on global issues, sustainability, collaboration and practical problem-solving. It is designed for students interested in connecting classroom learning with wider social and environmental questions.
Pursuit of Excellence supports motivated students who want to combine academics with leadership, service, personal development and extracurricular achievement. Current application requirements should be verified through the school.
Focus on Fine Arts gives students opportunities to develop skills across performing and visual arts. Claremont’s arts community includes music, theatre, dance, film and other creative disciplines, with student work presented through performances and school events.
The Claremont Sports Institute supports students seeking structured athletic development alongside their regular studies. District information identifies programs and academies associated with sports such as rowing, lacrosse and golf, while other performance offerings may vary by school year.
Advanced Placement courses provide academically prepared students with an opportunity to complete challenging senior-level coursework and potentially earn post-secondary credit, subject to the policies of the institution they later attend.
Claremont also provides access to dual-credit and post-secondary-linked opportunities. These courses can allow eligible students to begin selected post-secondary studies while completing secondary-school graduation requirements.
Claremont’s school culture extends well beyond conventional classroom study. The school’s theatre and performance spaces support drama, music, dance, film and community presentations. Athletic teams and performance programs give students opportunities to compete, train and participate in school life while continuing their academic studies.
The school describes its community as focused on helping students achieve their best while ensuring that students feel welcomed, supported, safe and positively engaged. That combination of school pride, varied programming and a large student body gives Claremont a broad range of opportunities and activities throughout the school year.
The Claremont catchment covers residential areas in and around Cordova Bay and neighbouring parts of Saanich. Housing within the broader area includes detached homes, condominiums, townhouses, rural and semi-rural properties, and homes near the coast, parks and major transportation routes.
A property’s proximity to Claremont does not by itself guarantee that it falls within the school boundary. Catchments and registration rules can change, and program placement may depend on capacity or other district requirements. Buyers should verify the current catchment and registration status with School District 63 before relying on school access as part of a real-estate decision.
